S1 Ep7 The Road to 500,000 Truffles - The Chocolate Lab

This episode is a phone conversation between myself and Dallas Southcott, the owner & chocolatier of the The Chocolate Lab in Calgary, Canada. We talk about the rapid growth of The Chocolate Lab to a production volume of over 500,000 truffles annually. We'll also go through their strategic pivot during COVID and how their investments are paying off for them.

So pull up a chair and listen in! Feel free to reach out to Dallas or myself with questions or comments.
